Spyhunter is a racing game using a unique aerial view developed by Bally Midway. The task of the player is to control his vehicle to destroy all enemy vehicles that appear on the way. Players will control a vehicle equipped with a variety of weapons that can attack vehicles in front or behind their vehicles.
In the game, the player controls his car on a long track. The track is arranged with diverse terrain. In each terrain, there will be different weather and obstacles. It appears along the way like puddles, small ice sheets, and roadblocks. If driving the vehicle through these obstacles, the player will lose control or slow down. The vehicle may also be destroyed if the player moves it out of the allowed lane. Lacking the topographic map is a difficult and great challenge for new players. With high travel speed, they will have to reflect quickly to balance the vehicle when changing terrain or walking on bridges.
In addition to avoiding obstacles that appear on the road, players need to use their existing weapons to attack and eliminate enemies. With the opponents ahead, they can attack by launching rockets to destroy it. If you do not like using rockets, players can speed up the car and squeeze it into the road. However, a collision with an opponent for extended periods of time may cause their vehicle to be destroyed. The opponent behind may also be attacked by the black smoke released from behind the player’s vehicle. Players will receive points for destroying each enemy’s vehicle. Accumulating enough points will help players upgrade and own more cars. When a player’s vehicle is destroyed for any reason, the player loses a certain amount of points. However, a transport vehicle will hand over the vehicle to them to continue their journey by dropping the vehicle from the back of the vehicle. After moving a certain path, an aircraft will appear to attack the player’s vehicle by dropping bombs from the air. When hit, the car will explode. To avoid those bombs, players need to judge the direction of the bomb’s drop in order to be able to control their vehicle to evade those attacks. Players can experience the game for a long time because the track in the game is endless.
